FOX has released an incredible 20 minute special preview for 24: Live Another Day titled “Jack is Back.” The video has loads of brand new footage and interviews with just about the entire cast and includes the first footage of Michelle Fairley as the main villain Margot (in what looks to be a standout role). It’s all very exciting and definitely worth a watch.

The cast and crew of 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY take us through production of the 12-episode event series and the return of Jack Bauer. 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY debuts with a two-hour premiere May 5 at 8/7c and airs Mondays at 9/8c on FOX.

24: Live Another Day cast members Benjamin Bratt, Colin Salmon, Emily Berrington, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Giles Matthey, Jon Cassar, Mary Lynn Rajskub, and Tate Donovan were asked to do their best Jack Bauer impression. Aside from being a funny video, it reminds you that only one man can pull off Jack Bauer and that is Kiefer… View Article

Wow, every clip so far has been amazing and the cast looks fantastic across the board. Loved the comment from Howard Gordon about this being his favorite cast so far (which is pretty huge considering how amazing the cast was over the years).

One of the nicest surprises for me was seeing that Benjamin Bratt’s character (CIA leader) is “calm, cautious, and thorough,” which reminds me a little of Bill Buchanan.

I like the idea of the two CIA field agents basically fighting for the same job, that should lead to some interesting situations. I do wonder if the backstory of Kate Morgan’s character (her husband selling secrets to the Chinese) might be setting up a possible return for Cheng?

Yes, I have always thought we have not seen the last of Cheng. Remember Cheng’s last words as he was being hauled after he was arrested in S6: ” My country will not abandon me like yours did to you” which basically means China will do what ever it takes to get him released.

Good:
Tate Donovan character is not a total jerk and mostly operates out of protecting his wife.
Margot’s character looks authoritative. Hopefully, she is not a one-dimensional villain who targets civilians.

Bad:
Gbenga character looks like “all talk no walk” type of guy just to make Kate Morgan look good.
Jack purposefully gets himself captured. Ugh, Ugh.
“Jack versus Chloe” looks like a balloon of hot air. First episode, and they don’t even have any problem being in the same room conversing.

But overall, it looks like a collection of 24 rehashes which they will sell as new after 4 years of break.

I was confused about that because it said all 4 of those hours were available on May 6th, which would only make sense if they were doing the 2 night/4 hour premiere. A switch to 9AM would make sense though for filming, as it would be more comfortable to shoot night episodes in warmer weather. And that would also make it easier to disguise the season change.

The “Jack Bauer” and “Jack and Chloe” featurettes on FOX’s YouTube also have that new start time/episode titles. But those same exact videos that I downloaded from their press website list the old start time (12pm-1pm).

And the E! Online exclusive “Chloe O’Brian” featurette that was uploaded on the very same day (April 7th) as those other videos still has the old start time too:
12pm-1pm
1pm-2pm
2pm-3pm
3pm-4pm

So there’s conflicting information. I can see it going either way, but I’m guessing it’s simply a mistake and the start time will remain the same. We’ll find out soon enough as the TV listings and episode press releases will be coming.

I downloaded the full 20-min documentary out of Youtube as soon as it was available because I knew it’d be taken off.
It’s so exciting to see it back!!! They’re right, it’s like meeting an old friend again. Can’t wait. :)

It seems like the character played by Branko Tomović is a good guy? Or at least helping Jack? He shoots into the ground to make a hole, throws down a expendable ladder which Jacks later climbs up on? (during the escape from CIA/the tube?). Also, I think I see him in the hackers lair to the left in one of the clips. Very blurry of course…

Interesting, could Jack have picked up a Serbian friend while hiding in Eastern Europe?

Kiefer is constantly referring to Eastern Europe in his interviews, while the entire series takes place in the UK, I wonder if Eastern Europe will not play a role in the plot? After all season 1 was about Serbia and Kosovo…
